About

Dr. Jaya Telang is a leading figure in surgical outcomes research, with a particular focus on the technical nuances and quality improvement of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her work bridges the gap between operative technique and patient outcomes, most notably through her landmark 2019 study, "Using video review to understand the technical variation of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a statewide surgical collaborative." This highly cited paper (14 citations) pioneered a novel methodology for analyzing surgical performance, demonstrating how systematic video review can reveal critical variations in surgical technique across a large collaborative network. By establishing a framework for objective, peer-driven assessment of robotic surgery, Dr. Telang’s contributions have directly informed best practices and training protocols for urologic surgeons. Her research is instrumental in moving the field toward standardized, high-quality care, empowering surgeons to learn from each other and ultimately improve oncologic and functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients. Dr. Telang’s work represents a vital step in transforming surgical education and quality assurance through data-driven, collaborative analysis.
